Synopsis

Amazon.com's Best of 1998

As lively and wild as a mint-julep-inspired front-porch hootenanny, Stadium Blitzer rollicks and rolls, the best record of the year for summer barbecues and mosquito-infested evenings. A junkyard orchestra of found and secondhand instruments--including accordian, mandolin, loose-stringed guitars, oft-tuned pianos, whistles, grinder wheels, and even crickets--staggers through loose arrangements that fall somewhere on the map between Texas hoedowns, Mexican fiestas, New Orleans stomps, and Los Angeles mosh pits. --Tod Nelson
